When I came to this site something like 5 years and almost 5000 posts ago, I didn't bother with formally introducing myself. I just dived in and started answering questions as best as I could.

But after all this time I felt like I should formally say goodbye rather than just disappear. So, for those who may be curious, my muscular dystrophy has progressed to the point that I'm doing a VDD (Google it).

I'm not writing this looking for sympathy. I'm 63 and had a full life including 38 years married to a wonderful, beautiful woman and two great kids. And I had good health until the last few years.

So no complaints. I feel like a very lucky guy. Just wanted to say goodbye and thanks for your support and patience with my many mistakes. Thanks for having my back and allowing me to be an idiot. Hope I helped some, educated others and irritated only a few.

I'll likely still be posting for a few more days. I anyone has a question, that's OK.

Thanks...see you on the dark side of the Moon...

I honestly have no idea what to say,,, except I really don't want to say nothing.

You've definitely made this forum a better place, and I'm lucky to have enjoyed the benefits of your advice, postings, and everything else you've done here without measure.

There are people on this forum who's opinions I genuinely value, and seeing a like from them on any post i've made is a like a seal of approval.

From my completely uniformed position, where I know nothing about the situation, facts, or any of that stuff, I'd hope you'd reconsider... however I also know that opinions from people who are completely uniformed and know nothing about the situation probably aren't worth much at all.

I'm in danger of just rambling on here, when nobody wants to read any of this... so instead I'll just say Thank you, and wish you all the best in everything...
 
I have no words really. I consider you a friend and will sorely miss you.

Thank You CD for being such a positive influence on these forums. I am very sorry that your quality of life has diminished the past few years but very happy that you are satisfied with the path you traveled.
Many live a long life with no rewards. You, sir, have left a mark on this earth and touched many people.
Thank You for sharing your time with us.
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the heartfelt replies. I was never financially rich, but I'm rich in the things that make a satisfying life, and obviously that includes my time spent here. But life is too short to waste time feeling down - have a party! That's what my family is doing. No sad, somber funeral for me, A giant blues and BBQ bash!
 
Yep ok I get it now.
Terribly unfortunate that your situation has come to this but being your life that's a decision you can only make for yourself, and while difficult to accept it's understandable if things have gotten to that point.
A huge positive is that up to this moment we had no idea of your condition or physical limitations, and certainly within the context of our community here none of that made a damn bit of difference.
Perhaps you could advise your location in case anyone here is within visiting distance, hopefully before the fact-
 
Like others, not sure what best to say but don't want to remain silent. I'm sure this was quite the tough decision for you and your family - and I wish everyone the best during this difficult time. Spiritual or not, I'm sure it's scary on some level, relieving on another.

I hope, and I guess due to the fact you're posting at all, I believe, AF's great members have provided you some escape and comfort the last few years. You've clearly left a positive impression on us!

Wishing you the best, easiest transition possible, and your family will remain in my thoughts while they endure with you.
